"After 20 years of groundbreaking work at CNBC, Maria Bartiromo will be leaving the company as her contract expires on November 24th," CNBC spokesman Brian Steel confirmed on Monday. "Her contributions to CNBC are too numerous to list but we thank her for all of her hard work over the years and wish her the best."

Despite numerous reports from Politico and the Los Angeles Times that Bartiromo is headed to Fox Business, where she will reportedly host her own show and become a presence on Fox News, the network has yet to confirm the hire.

The 46-year-old native New Yorker was the host and managing editor of CNBC show "On the Money with Maria Bartiromo," as well as anchor of CNBC's "Closing Bell" show, from which she would frequently broadcast live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She was also known for her high-profile interviews of business leaders from around the world.

Aside from her business prowess, Bartiromo is also known for her good looks. She was nicknamed the "money honey" by famed punk rocker Joey Ramone who wrote a song about her.

"She has been at the center of every major financial and business news story, working hard for CNBC, since her earliest days fighting it out on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the mid-90s," CNBC President and Chief Executive Mark Hoffman said in a company memo obtained by Reuters on Monday.

Reaction to Bartiromo's departure was mixed online. Famed investor Warren Buffett expressed his disappointment with the news on Twitter.
